Summary

It started as an April Fools joke and became SO MUCH MORE. This week, we read Twilight and enjoyed it an embarrassing amount. Bella is weirdly obsessed with cars and can't stop falling over; the kids in Forks, Washington are almost creepily nice; Charlie Swan is just trying to do his job and eat his fish fry; Edward is just trying not to murder his new girlfriend; the rest of the Cullens are just trying not to be in direct sunlight so they don't freak everyone out with their sparkly skin; and we're just trying to pretend we're not suddenly Twihards. Plus: Our longest summary yet! And some VERY problematic cultural appropriation. It wouldn't be The Nibbler without some PC moralizing, now, would it?
